  1. Fair comment, thanks for taking the time to reply, ATB. VLD.
  2. No need to be 'sarky' old chap. Your attempt at humour has deflected your brain from answering the question I asked, which was wether you thought he should have been offered a contract extension when he was? Keep up please.... ATB. VLD.
  3. I would be interested to know what you consider Smith has learnt this season. Our performances have generally got worse as the season has progressed...... ATB. VLD.
  4. Yes, but that was last year.....This year he has been found out to have little or no, recruitment or coaching ability. My analysis is isn't a personal attack on Dean who always comes across as a particularly nice bloke. Unfortunately being ' a nice bloke' doesn't count for much in football succes. See Sir Alex and 'old big gob', for examples for ruthless achievers.....
  5. Hello, are you saying Dean deserved an extended contract at that time or are you just talking nonsense again? You will be calling for aLerner and Lamberk to be installed next......
  6. It is a difficult proposition to imagine who this board might pick. They are the ones who gave Dean a contract extension after winning one game.....There is no doubting their business acumen but it is obvious that they haven't got a clue regarding running a successful football club.....I suppose they will get fed up with failure soon and disappear like Lerner did ( eventually). It would appear that finding the right owners is just as difficult as finding the 'right manager'. Regards, VLD.
  7. I admire your optimism. However our current form ( last 6 matches ) leave s us bottom of the league. Our performances are just awful at the moment with even a genius like Jack unable to lift us. We are going down unless we change direction. Now is the perfect time to make the change. Dean is a likeable chap but is clearly out of his depth in the premier league. Unfortunately points aren't awarded for being ' a nice bloke'. ATB VLD.
  8. Thanks for the memories Dean. Time to move on with a new direction at the club. Suso must leave as well. The league is suspended and will not play again for months in my opinion. The new man will have ample time with the players to move things forward. Sad to say that Corona virus might just save our club. The board must act now. VLD.
  9. His value to Villa is nil as well mate. Haven't you watched his 'performances '? ATB. VLD.
  10. Sorry but I disagree. We play it short at the moment and lose possession almost immediately. Smith himself has agreed that this is a major fault with our play, ( but has been unable to improve our possession and passing statistics, which are the worst in the league I believe. ). It is lunacy to ask our players to play a passing/ possession game when it is obvious they cannot do it. If I have repeated my points in my previous post then I apologise but as I said, it is simple to understand if you think about where we are at the moment. ATB. VLD.
  11. Could you expand old chap? Regards, VLD.
  12. Simples...play two strikers and hit it long to them ( a la Leicester). Please don't say this is too simple. We are not good enough to do anything else and it will take the pressure off our woeful defence. Regards, VLD.
  13. Absolutely spot on, thanks for posting even if the truth hurts . ATB, G.T.
  14. Incorrect. Defenders loved him. One touch and he was on his arse complaining to the referee., job done.... ATB VLD
  15. Why? I thought everyone except Smith thought was a useless clodhopper ( which he is ).... VLD.
  16. We bought a complete 'new' defence to ensure we would be better.....We aren't. VLD.
  17. How much did Norwich spend in the summer? A fraction of what we did. They knew it would be tough for them to stay up. £ We spent 146 million to ENSURE we stayed up. Unfortunately 138 million of this was wasted on players who look out of their depth. You couldn't make it up. Regards, VLD.
  18. Losing Wesley was a bonus. Samatta is twice the player for half the money.... VLD
  19. Sorry, if I could see Smith improving the team I would agree with your comments. Unfortunately we are getting worse. To keep on repeating the same mistakes seems like madness to me. Do you really think Smith is the answer? ATB. VLD.
  20. Oh, does that mean we are doing okay and everything is good? Frankly ,having such low quality expectations for YOUR club is embarrassing if you don't mind me saying so. Many on here seem to have forgotten that we were the second highest spenders in the Premier in the Summer. That money was spent to ensure we stayed up. We won't , and that is failure in my book.. ATB. VLD.
  21. Okay I have got the falling over a lot covered......what was the other thing he did well? ATB VLD.
  22. We aren't building. If you hadn't noticed we are going downwards at a rate of knots. That is not progress. Frankly I don't understand all this let's wait malarkey. Wait for what exactly? ATB. VLD.
  23. Well he isn't young for a start. And you don't pay 22 million for a player who....can't run, pass, head the ball or shoot accurately at goal. Mind you he is exceptional at falling over a lot..... ATB. VLD.
  24. Wesley is a clueless waster who must have a genius for an agent. No other team would give him the time of day......Sorry... ATB. VLD.
